Big Bang sprang into existence when Green House Seeds combined Skunk, Northern Lights, and El Niño into one indica that packs the power of the cosmos. Sweet apple with accents of rose and violet bring a rich aromatic experience to this 80% indica, whose sedating effects run most popularly with patients treating pain and sleeplessness. Relief expands and spreads throughout the body, calming stress both physical and mental. Big Bang bursts into flowering, finishing in 8 to 9 weeks indoors or around the end of September in outdoor grows.

This strain yields explosive amounts, something only a Big Bang can create. However, it’s a short, bushy, and branchy plant. Its appearance resembles Afghani strains, straight from the Hindu Kush mountains. Growers leave Big Bang to flower for 9 weeks, which is enough for Big Bang to develop a solid cannabinoid and terpene profile.

If there is one strain that lives up to its name, it is the Big Bang from Green House Seeds. There are two reasons for its famous moniker: first, its plants explode with vigor during the whole cultivation process with some shooting up to 7 feet tall.

Second, its effects can be explosive especially when used beyond personal tolerance. It will hit fast with THC sensitive beginners swinging instantaneously to sleep right after. In moderation, however, it is a calm euphoria that keeps users functional until its sedating effects begin to take over.

About Big Bang

A uniquely delicious strain developed by the Green House Seed Company, Big Bang smells and tastes like candied apples and flowers. Indica-dominant, this hybrid is a collection of Skunk #1, Northern Lights and El Nino. With a lineage that includes Cannabis from Brazil, Mexico, India, Thailand and Afghanistan, this carefully crafted and cosmically named strain has a THC range between 13 and 19 percent. Nearly narcotic in effect for some users, Big Bang took third place in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup.

Providing a sensation of healing and general euphoria from the beginning of use, this strain has been described as rolling a soft blanket over users gently rocking them to sleep. This blanket can numb aches and pains, calm nausea, soothe muscle spasms and induce an appetite. Some users of higher tolerance find the strain allows them to be functional, though Big Bang should still be reserved for the later hours in the day.

Reportedly capable of producing as much as 800 grams per square meters inside, Big Bang may yield as much as a kilogram outdoors. Even with the larger yields outdoors, most recommend growing this strain in a hydroponics set up for nine weeks so that these plants reach maximum potency. Though she can be ready for harvest in eight weeks and finishes in October outside. Growers recommend starting with a lower pH while vegetating and working up to 6.5 for the flowering period.

It does offer a general euphoria along with a sensation of healing as soon as you smoke it. The strain is known for its blanketing effect that will make you feel asleep in no time. However, it can numb aches and pains, give you the munchies and is perfect for individuals suffering from nausea. But you have to keep in mind that the strain is recommended for evening time use. But in some cases, individuals with higher tolerance levels are able to find it easier to focus and can remain functional as well.
